Stella sat on a bench in the corner of the great hall, snacking on pumpkin flavoured candy as she watched her fellow students enjoying the Halloween feast. Her eyes were beginning to water from the red contact lenses she had stuck in, and her legs were starting to sweat under the ruffles of her black dress, but she couldn't go back to her dormitory just yet. To do so would have been extremely antisocial, and Stella was used to having to keep up her appearance wherever she went. Hogwarts was a lot different from the muggle world. Every now and then, a student would recognize her, but it was really of no interest to them that she was an actress. Stella still didn't know how she felt about the lack of cameras, the lack of recognition and the lack of excitement. Hogwarts seemed to be a very exciting place for most of the children, yet Stella found it quite dull and boring in comparison to her old life. Yeah, it was pretty cool that there were pumpkins floating in mid air, but outside of Hogwarts, what use was magic anyway? If they weren't allowed to use their magic in front of muggles, there was nobody to impress, nobody to show off to. The only people she could use her magic in front of were the ones who could already do their own, often a hundred times more skilfully than her.
Stella sighed, flapping her dress around to try and cool her sticky legs. The taste of pumpkin was starting to make her feel sick, and watching the other students have fun only added to her discomfort. She blinked hard, trying to find a way to make her contact lenses less irritating, but to no avail. She wasn't sure why she'd even bothered coming down, since everyone else's costumes were much more extravagant than her. The ones with the best outfits were getting smiles and compliments, whilst Stella sat alone, out of the spotlight and away from the attention. Surrounded by hundreds of people, Stella had never felt so alone in her entire life.
